[QUOTE="happinessandcolour, post: 534818, member: 35681"] Hello folks, I am in the process of setting up a few Fluorescent Lights. The Battens are Knightsbridge T8 36W, and I will be installing Fluorescent T8 36W Tubes. I would like to wire these into individual Plugs, to be plugged directly into the mains. I gather that these lights will require only 0.15 Amps, so I will ensure I fit 3 Amp fuses into the Plugs. [B]My question is: Would it make any difference if I used 0.5mm or 0.75mm Flex on these?[/B] I have some 0.75mm flex in the house, but I have read that 0.5mm flex is the correct type to use for 3 amp Fuses. Should just I buy some 0.5mm flex instead? Could there be any drawbacks to using the 0.75mm Flex? I'd really appreciate any advice on this topic. Wishing you all a good day! [/QUOTE]
